Blodgett Fellows

Blodgett Fellows

The Terrell Blodgett Endowment for Government Services in Urban Management and Finance was established by the Board of Regents of The University of Texas System in 1983. Professor Blodgett believes that citizens are most affected by governments when they live in cities and that the services provided by cities are vital to the well-being of Americans. Professor Blodgett hopes to encourage students to pursue careers in city management, which he believes is an exciting and challenging vocation.
